Although properly proportioned, installed and cured masonry repointing mortar should be expected to provide at least 50 years of service, actual results too often fall far short of that. The reasons can frequently be traced back to shortcuts taken in the repointing process, including omission of labor-intensive steps required to minimize shrinkage and maximize bond strength. A new pre-packaged mortar system can greatly simplify repointing requirements, providing reliable high performance while reducing labor requirements.
RL-Series latex-modifiers are unique, reactive acrylic additives designed to enhance the performance of Portland cement-based materials. When added to cement-based mortars, patches, plasters and coatings, RL-Series latex modifiers improve mechanical performance, workability, adhesion and resistance to freeze-thaw and harsh environmental exposures. Custom-matched aggregates, matrix and mix design provide matching replacement concrete mixes for large-scale repairs/replacement. Ice -9 (RL-9) is an additive for mortars, stuccos and concrete that improves freeze-thaw resistance even in the presence of ponded deicing salts.
